Analysis of mastheads: Pop.

Although not a music magazine, the masthead of Pop has really influenced the idea of my masthead.

Pop magazine focuses on celebrating 'the world’s key creatives' and is aimed at women with an interest in the magazines content. The masthead shown above really reflects this.

The masthead itself is more a shape than a distinctive font which is more interesting and creative and so reinforces the content of the magazine. Also instead of just one block colour, this shape is filled with images of cartoon like flowers, in bright colours. This again is more interesting and creative, so again reinforcing the content of the magazine, with the flowers reinforcing the target audience. However the colours of these flowers give the magazine a 'pop' feel as they are pop art colours. These are the sort of colours that i would like to include in my masthead as they would not only reinforce the music genre of the magazine, but would make it feel pop like as soon as you look at it.
